Schools throughout area plan moratorium
According to the Student Mob-ilization
Committee, as the No-vember
13 Moratorium nears,
prospects for the strike are look-ing
better and better.
In the Twin Cities SMC chap-ters
have organized or are in the
process of being organized in over
thirty high schools, four junior
highs, four colleges and a junior
college. Other colleges through-out
the state are planning actions
in connection with the November
13 and 14 Moratorium and will
send contingents to Minneapolis to
participate in the strike rally and
march.
Most chapters in the Twin Cities
are planning local activities in
the form of assemblies, walk-outs
or picketing from 8 a.m. to 11
a.m.
Between 11 and 12 students will
converge on the University of
Minnesota mall to the sounds of
rock music and guerilla theater.
Speakers at the rally which be-gins
at noon will include people
from SMC, the Twin City Draft
Information Center, and an active
duty GI. At 1 p.m. participants
will march down University Av-enue
to the New Federal Build-ing
and encircle the building with
a massive symbolic picket line.
In the evening the New Mobil-ization
Committee is sponsoring a
sendoff rally in the Minneapolis
Armory. Buses headed for Wash-ington
will leave at that time and
early Friday morning.
SMC, which is a member of the
New Mobilization Committee seems
to be receiving significant sup-port
in its attempt to mobilize
students for the moratorium. The
Mac Community College of Mac-alester
College has voted to en-dorse
the strike and is buying
three buses to transport students
to Washington. The Minnesota
Student Association (University of
The "Magic of the South Sea
Islands" will entrance your ears
at the 9th annual Bethel Band
Pops Concert occuring tonight at
8:00 in the fieldhouse.
A South Sea Island Motiff will
set off the band as they play
through numbers presenting sea-sonal
settings, nationalistic flavor,
holiday moods, and South Sea
Island Music.
To highlight the atmosphere of
the concert, band members will
don Island costumes during the
second part of the program.
Minnesota) has also endorsed the
strike and agreed to co-sign a let-ter
which will be sent to high
school and college student govern-ments
throughout the state urg-ing
them to support the strike.
Momentum for the November
13-15 Moratorium seems to be
building up on the same scale
nationally as it is locally. An ad
scheduled to appear in the Novem-ber
9 issue of the New York Times
which calls for immediate with-drawal
from Vietnam and asks
the American people to support
the March on Washington has al-ready
been signed by 1500 GI's,
190 of whom are in Vietnam.
Colleges throughout the state
which plan to send a contingent
to Minneapolis for the Moratori-um
include University of Minne-sota-
Duluth, Northfield, St. Cloud,
Moorhead, Gustavus Adolphus,
and Mankato.
In the words of Julius Whit-inger,
director of the band, the
purpose of the Pops Concert is
to present a night of "good musi-cal
fun and enjoyment". Gerry
Healy will narrate the program.
The concert is sponsored by the
Bethel Women's Auxiliary. Ad-mission
is $1 for adults, 50 cents
for students, and 25 cents for
children.
Band officers this year are:
Bruce Otto, president; Dan Mogck,
vice-president; Diane Lewis, secre-tary;
Carol McLain, treasurer;
Terry Sheetz, band manager.
Band performs tonight
Senate, new senators leap into action
Committees obstruct student unrest legistation
Senate proposes soccer
as varsity sport for '70
The senate after several weeks
of discussion, seemed to leap in-to
action Tuesday night with a
number of significant decisions.
Perhaps the newly elected sen-ators
had something to do with
the renewed life in the repre-sentative
body.
As a result of elections October
24, the senate gained eleven new
senators. From the freshman class
Donald Dewer, Anne Dalton, Joel
Goff, Ron Troxel, and Gail Sog-retti
were elected. Sophomores
Jan Wyma and Lee Granlund and
juniors Karen Nelson and Dan
Larson also joined the senate
along with Thomas Mesaros and
Norma Wilcox as senators at
large.
Because of the resignation of
senior senator Jan Hurt and con-fusion
concerning the length of
term for Steve Lambrides, the
senior class now has two vacan-cies
in the senate. They will be
filled through a special election
November 14. Declarations for the
offices will be due November 11,
petitions, November 13.
After many weeks of discussion,
senate subcommittee plans were
finalized. The purpose of the sub-committees
is according to Presi-dent
Shupe to aid the senate in
becoming a more active body as
opposed to its rather passive tem-perment
now and in previous
years. Through the committees,
senate members will be taking a
better look at campus social life,
student retention, new campus
plans, athletics, and educational
reform.
It was agreed among the sena-tors
that committees should be
assigned dates to report and
should appear at that time with
mimeographed copies of their re-ports
and suggested legislation.
The new campus committee will
report November 25, athletic com-mittee
December 2, social life
December 9.
The senators also discussed the
problems of athletics on campus.
It was generally agreed that an
attempt should be made to make
soccer a varsity sport in the corn-ing
year, but that it should not
pre-empt football. The concensus
was that there was room for both
at Bethel. In the words of fresh-man
senator Joel Goff "The foot-ball
team should either be proper-ly
funded or the sport should be
dropped. It's not fair to the stu-dents
and especially to the players
to ask them to put forth under
the present conditions."
Following discussion on the
topic, the senate passed a motion
reading "We move that the Ath-letic
Department of Bethel Col-lege
move forward in maintaining
football as an intercollegiate sport.
This Bethel tradition is whole
heartedly supported by the Sen-ate
and we feel immediate action
should be taken to insure its ex-istance.
Also we move that the
Athletic Department recognize soc-cer
as a varsity sport by the
autumn of 1970 and urge they will
be preparing now for making this
a reality.'
The final topic under discussion
was that of a constitutional
amendment concerning the duties
of the Vice President of the Stu-dent
Association. The Vice Presi-dent
was given the formal position
of presiding officer of the senate
with the right to vote in the event
there should be a tie in the
amendment changes. The previous
position of the vice presidency
had entailed no specific duties.
The amendment was unanimously
passed by the senators present at
the meeting.
Washington ( C P S ) — Of at
least 15 bills on the subject of
student unrest submitted to the
U.S. Congress this session, not
one has yet come out of commit-tee.
Four bills have been referred
to the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee where action
is pending. Eleven other bills
were referred to the House Spec-ial
Subcommittee on Education
where hearings were held in May.
No further action has been taken.
The Senate bills include:
S. 2055, introduced by Norris
Cotton of New Hampshire to pro-vide
that institutions of higher
education that have failed to take
necessary steps to maintain a
reasonable degree of discipline
upon their campuses shall be un-able
to receive federal contracts.
DANANG, Vietnam ( C P S ) —
Betting among GIs in Vietnam is
heavy these days.
Everyone—from green privates
to seasoned top brass—is offering
odds on how the South Vietnamese
troops will fare once American
ground combat forces are with-drawn.
Some bet that with U.S. materi-al
and intelligence aid, the South
Vietnam Army (usually simply
called the ARVN) will h o 1 d .
Others are laying dead certain
odds they w ill be pitiously
crushed.
But no one knows for sure.
Only time will tell.
Perhaps the GIs with the best
inside tips about the future are
the U.S. military advisors who
work with ARVN units. Most of
them openly admit that the ARVN
troops have a long way to go be-fore
they can equal the U.S. troops
now in the war zone. But they
quickly add that the ARVNs have
already come a long way.
"The change they've made is
unbelievable," said one advisor
S. Joint Res. 109, introduced by
Walter Mondale of Minnesota to
provide for a study of student
unrest on U.S. campuses.
S. 2803 introduced by Robert
Byrd of West Virginia to encour-age
institutions of higher educa-tion
to adopt rules to govern the
conduct of students and faculty,
to assure the right of free ex-pression
and to assist such insti-tutions
in their eforts to prevent
and control campus disturbances.
S. 2520 introduced by Thomas
Eagleton of Missouri to amend
the Higher Education Act of 1965
to provide a means of preventing
civil disturbances from disrupting
federal assistance programs and
activities at institutions of higher
education.
House bills include:
H. R. 10074 introduced by Wil-recently
at Cu Chi, near Saigon. He
had served as an advisor in 1964
and returned to the same job last
April after a two year absence.
"Everybody's mad now 'cause
they (the ARVNs) won't patrole
at night," he said. "Well, maybe
they should bitch. Back in '64 I
couldn't even get them to fight
Sunday's. They've come a long
way."
Indeed, the change has been re-markable.
In 1964, before the mas-sive
American troop build-up be-gan,
the ARVNs could have star-red
in an Our Gang comedy.
They were armed with cast-off
World War II weapons. Many did-n't
even have uniforms, and the
desertion rate was an embarrassing
15 per cent of all ARVN forces.
Since then they have grown to
their present size of nearly one
million men under arms. The U.S.
has supplied over half of these
with M16 rifles. American aid has
also given them powerful artillery,
armored personnel carriers, heli-copters,
patrol boats, transport
ships and fighter bombers.
Liam Harsha of Ohio to require
the suspension of federal financial
assistance to colleges and univer-sities
which are experiencing cam-pus
disorders and fail to take ap-propriate
corrective me a s u r es
within a reasonable time and to
require the termination of federal
financial assistance to teachers,
instructors, and lecturers guilty of
violation of any law in connection
with such disorders.
H. R. 10136 introduced by Dan
Kuykendall of Tennessee to re-quire
the suspension of federal
financial assistance to colleges and
universities which are experienc-ing
campus disorders and fail to
take appropriate corrective meas-ures
forthwith and to require the
suspension of federal financial as-sistance
to teachers participating
in such disorders.
And each day a U.S. "assistance
package"-10 troop carrying heli-copters,
four chopper gunships and
a command and control helicopter
—is assigned to every ARVN di-vision.
But even with all this, there
are still major problems. The big-est
of them, U.S. advisors from
all parts of the country agree, is
spirit.
"Sometimes I wonder how much
they really care," an advisor said
earlier this month while on a
maneuver with ARVNs 30 miles
South of DaNang. "Maybe I'd feel
the same way if I was them. But
sometimes they're just not as ag-gressive
as we'd like to see them.
They just don't seem to pit every-thing
into it."
A primary example of what
appears to be an increasing lack of
spirit is the growing desertion
rate. It has become so critical
that in late June a special, secret
session of the South Vietnam Se-nate
was called to inform legis-lators
that an average of 11,000

Vietnamization produces problems, doubts
Ought silent citizen keep
right to representation?
The address to the nation by President Nixon November 3, caused
me to pause and rethink the premises upon which this nation was
founded.
The phrase which recurred to me was "the silent majority." Nixon
said that he "would be untrue to my oath of office if I were to submit
to the vocal minority who want to lose in Vietnam. If the vocal
minority overcome the majority" he said, "this country is in danger."
This reasoning can be questioned on two accounts. First, if this
silent majority is what Nixon says it is — a silent majority — how
does he claim to concur with what they desire? Perhaps the silent
majority really has no opinion on the issue. Perhaps the Vietnam
situation has never come close enough to require them to think about
it and form an opinion.
Or perhaps the silent majority is silently agreeing with the vocal
minority. In either case, it would seem rather dishonorable for the
President to claim that he is acting in accordance with their beliefs,
on a national issue retain his right as a citizen to be represented on
which is not expressed cannot be acted upon.
The second question hits at a more basic level of our government.
Does the citizen who has no opinion or does not express his opinion
on a national issue retain his right as a citizen to re represented on
that issue? Does the citizen who does not exercize his rights really
have any?
Is it reasonable to assume that if a person does not take advantage
of his rights, he does not have any? Of what value is something that
is not used?
It would seem that those citizens who care enough to express an
opinion ought to be the citizens who are considered in representation.

"WHERE DO THEM PUNKS GET THEIR IDEAS?"

The Nixon Doctrine

the CLARION Friday, November 7, 1969
Nixon accused of misinterpretation
To the editor:
Your editorial of October 24
raises a number of problems.
One, the problem of quotations
when quoting rather freely from
conservation in committee meet-ings,
personal engagements in the
Coffee Shop, or in a professor's
office. The people cited, includ-ing
myself, would have appreciat-ed
the privilege of review of the
quotations before press release.
Conversations will become much
more guarded if it is felt that you
or a member of your staff are
quoting without care or respon-sibility.
Whenever a person writes
or speaks in public, he should
realize that he is vulnerable to
criticism. However, private con-versation
is quite another matter.
If I had known that our table talk
conversation was going to be
printed, I would have at least ap-preciated
checking the proper se-quence
of ideas.
Two, the problem of inner-school
communications. If you or any
other campus group did not obtain
signals from departments, teach-ers,
administration, students, etc.,
is the editorial column the place
to hoist the flag of communication
failure? Telephone, inter-office
memos, even coffee cup conversa-tion
are still open channels for
communication and the building
of bridges for understanding.
Three, the problem of image.
In that we only know in part, it
is questionable that any one seg-ment
of the community can be
sure of the "true image." We need
to relate to each other if we are
to see how Bethel looks. We need
to hear from outside constituencies
if we are going to approximate
the "true image."
It is easy to distort an image
if only part of the picture is re-vealed.
From your editorial, the
reader cannot get the part of the
image of Mr. Whitinger and Dr.
Berglund as conscientious, dedi-cated,
well trained and disciplined
musicians. In their specialties,
these men carry the respect of
their peers in the music world.
I, for one, am prepared to listen
carefully to these men. I may not
always agree with them, but fully
support them in their right to
fulfill their commitments to the
best of their abilities and profes-sional
training.
Sincerely,
Virgil A. Olson

I. F. Stone was adamant.
Only minutes after President
Nixon had concluded his much-promoted
speech on Vietnam, the
radical political writer and editor
of I. F. Stone's Weekly, told CPS,
"It was a disastrous speech for
him and for the country."
"If he was supposed to be talk-ing
to the silent majority, he's
going to find the ranks of his
majority growing smaller by talk-ing
like that."
"This is Johnson and Rusk all
over again," Stone said. "He (Nix-
On Monday night, in his address
to the nation, Preident Nixon made
reference to his "no more Viet-nams
policy" known as the Nixon
Doctrine. This doctrine is Mr.
Nixon's application of what the
United States has hopefully learn-ed
from our Southeast Asian in-volvement.
After a July summit with our
Pacific Allies the President out-lined
this doctrine to which, in a
joint statement, the governments
of the Phillipines, Thailand, Mal-asia,
and Indonesia gave their en-dorsement.
Mr. Nixon pledged that the
United States would honor all of
its treaty obligations. The United
States withdrawal from Vietnam
would not be released from our
commitments in the area, but
American commitments are now
to take a different form.
In the future, the national forces
of Southeast Asia will be doing
all of the combat duty with the
U.S. contributing supplies and
training for the allies. In this way
America c a n avoid committing
ground troops to Asian wars.
With the single exception of
South Vietnam, our Asian allies
are reasonably stable and popular
governments. In the event of a
guerilla war it is essential that the
government be able to muster the
support of the people, and it ap-pears
that the governmentS of
Thailand, Malasia, Burma, and
even to some extent Laos are cap-able
of mustering popular sup-port.
The new role of the United
States will be to fill the gaps—
both economic and material—that
on) has distorted history and the
Ho Chi Minh letter."
Stone said the letter, which
Nixon did not read but released
to the press after the speech,
was a soft spoken, letter — it was
moderate and it held hope for
peace."
Nixon portrayed the letter, writ-ten
by Ho only a few days before
his death in answer to a Nixon
letter, as giving no shred of hope
for peace.
As for Nixon's interpretation of
history, Stone accused him o f
blaming every president in the last
20 years but himself for the war.
"He didn't say that in 1954 when
he was vice president, he wanted
are characteristic of Asian nations.
During peace, the U.S. will invest
in the economic development of
our allies.
We will also be responsible for
the training and equiping of the
armed forces of these nations. If
war should flare up, we will ad-vise
and supply as necessary but,
we will avoid commiting ground
forces.
A second part of the Nixon Doc-trine
is the establishment of a
Nuclear umbrella over Southeast
Asia. In the event that one of our
allies is threatened by a nuclear
power, the U.S. will commit its
nuclear capability to deter the
threat.
This is, of course, an attempt to
equalize the balance of power be-tween
the nuclear capability of
Red China and the conventional
capabilities of the South East
Asian nations. America is attempt-ing
to make sure that all wars
in Southeast Asia remain conven-tional.
The Nixon Doctrine has already
been applied to Laos and is being
applied in Thailand. With the
Vietnamization of the war, it is
being applied to Vietnam.
The Doctrine does, however,
acknowledge a direct military role
for our Air Force. American
bombers will still work in con-junction
wtih government forces,
as they now do in Laos and Viet-nam.
This area of inconsistency is
based upon the assumption that
our allies are not yet capable of
mounting an air attack, which has
become essential to fighting anti-guerilla
wars.
to send ground troops in." (Stone
is the author of a new book on
government practices in the fif-ties.)
"This is Nixon's war from
way back," he said.
Stone was particularly angered
by Nixon's comparisons between
the Vietnam War and the two
World Wars. "To mistake Ho for
the Kaiser or Hitler is ridiculous;
it's absolutely silly," he said.
On the mid-November anti-war
protests, Stone said, "I think the
protests will grow bigger. The
people expected at least some con-cessions
if Nixon hoped to keep
the protest down at all. There
were none at all. It's just more of
the same."

Cotton has recently toured in

his wife, Marney, sings with him.
This past summer Annie Stepan

her down he is not allowed to go
with another girl.
Dan is assisted in planning for

tickets, and Lee Johnson, chairman
of the decorating committee.
WASHINGTON ( C P S ) — As
prospects diminish that both legis-lative
branches will pass the ad-ministration's
lottery draft pro-posal
by the end of this year,
chances increase that President
Nixon will enact by executive or-der
a "conveyor belt" system of
induction in early 1970.
Under this form of conscription,
19-year-olds would be made the
"prime age group" for draft calls
with their liability to the draft
limited to one year. Age would
determine the order of induction.
A person whose 19th birthday fell
during January would be called
up before a person with a Febru-ary
birthday.
Since it discriminates against
those with birthdays early in the
year (persons born in October, No-vember
or December might never
be subject to the draft), the con-veyor
belt would be less equitable
than a lottery, under which one
of the year's 365 days would be
picked at random and all 19-year
olds born on that date made
draftable.
Both approaches to procuring
military power would reduce a
person's draft vulnerability from
seven years to one, making him
draft free at age 20. Both would
defer college students, placing
them in the pool of draftable for
one year after graduation, and
both would defer graduate stu-dents
until they have completed
the full academic year.
But the lottery, unlike the con-veyor
belt, can't be established
with congressional approval. Both
the Senate and House have to
vote to change a provision in the
1967 Selective Service Act prohi-biting
random selecion of draftees.
And everyone, from Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.), a leading pro-ponent
of draft reform, to Sen.

Unknown to many Bethel stu-dents,
the Food Service Commit-tee,
headed by Steve Lambrides,
has been actively working on im-provements
of the Bethel Food
Service. These improvements have
ranged from such minor items
as the publication of the menu,
to more noticable accomplishments
such as improved breakfasts.
A major complaint offered by
students has been the slowness
of the service, causing long lines
and much time wasted standing
around waiting to eat. The com-mittee
investigated the possibility
of a second serving line.
This would, however, according
to the Minnesota Health Service,
require permanent structures ra-ther
than the mere addition of
tables with food. The least ex-pensive
structure would run about
$1500 and this would be inade-quate
for Bethel. The committee
has suggested that students could
improve service by moving as
quickly as possible through the
line, without loitering in the ser-vice
area. This would also en-courage
those serving to work
more quickly.
A training table for athletes is
being looked into. In the mean-time,
athletes are being served
training table meals on the day
of their athletic contests.
The decor of the cafeteria will
be improved by the addition of
an art exhibit. The work will be
that of students and prices will
be posted so that the work can
be sold.
A nutrition expert from the
John Stennis (D-Miss.), chairman
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, is predicting this won't
occur until Congress reconvenes
next year.
The reason is that many legis-lators,
desiring more sweeping Se-lective
Service reforms, are unwil-ling
to go along with the adminis-tration
and its congressional lead-ership
in speedily passing the lo-tery
without considering amend-ments.
In a press conference sponsored
by the National Council to Repeal
the Draft, Reps. Shirley Chisholm,
Edward Koch and Leonard Farb-stein,
all New York Democrats,
criticized the lottery proposal as
too minor a reform. They called
for total abolition of military con-scription.
Rep. Chisholm had three ob-jections:
1) By continuing the practice
of granting student deferments,
the lottery would sanction further
class and race discrimination in
that white middle and upper class
students could avoid military ser-vice
by going to college whereas
poorer non-white youth unable to
afford college, would be inducted.
2) It would be more difficult for
non-college youth to acquire jobs
while in the age bracket between
17, the average age of high school
graduation, and 19, the year of
the lottery. Career plans would
thus have to be delayed.
3) Any form of conscription is
unfair since it involves involuntary
servitude, and passage of the lot-tery
would constitute affirmation
of an injustice.
Koch and Farbstein had amend-ments.
Koch's would permit what
he termed "selective conscientious
objection" — a category of persons
objecting to a particular war on
moral or religious grounds. They
University of Minnesota may be
asked to come and evaluate the
nutritional value of the food serv-ed
at Bethel and make suggestions
for improvement.
Investigation into the possibility
of using the Saga Food Service
has begun. This would mean a
greater quantity of food but would
result in additional expense to
the students. During the second
semester, the committee sees a
possibility of introducing a refer-endum
through the Senate i n
which students would vote to levy
o n themselves a n additional
charge of between $25 and $50
a year for improved food ser-vice.
In addition, the committee has
achieved such things as sweet rolls
served for breakfast, obtaining bet-ter
drinks at a lower price and
less expensive eggs. The committee
chairman, Steve Lambrides had
this to say: "These last two ac-complishments
resulted in a sav-ings
which was returned to the
Food Service, resulting in a saving
for students. The cooperation of
the Food Service has been out-standing
and has made these
changes possible."
Students are encouraged to take
the time to voice complaints, re-quests
or approval to Mrs. Alice
Johnson or Mr. Wayne Erickson
at any time. There will be an op-portunity
for students to air their
opinions on November 20 at 6:30
in the President's Dining Room.
Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Erickson,
as well as the Food Service Corn
mittee, will be there and welcome
all gripes and suggestions.
would be given alternate civilian
service. Those currently in jail or
Canada as a result of their pacifist
beliefs would be able to resume
their lives as U.S. citizens, provid-ing
they qualified for alternative
service.
Farbstein's would abolish the
draft except when Congress de-clared
war. In peacetime there
would be a volunteer army. One
other congressman, William Ryan,
also a Democrat from New York,
has proposed an amendment which
would forbid the assignment of
a draftee to duty in Vietnam, un-less

declared war.
Several student leaders, includ-ing
Charles Palmer, president of
the National Student Association
(NSA), David Hawk, co-chairman
of the Vietnam Moratorium Com-mittee,
and Dan Siegel, student
body president of the University
of California at Berkeley, joined
the representatives at the press
conference.
Palmer said the lottery proposal
did little but "plant hasty patches
on an already patchwork system."
Any system of forced service to
the government "seriously endan-gers
human freedom," he said.
Hawk said sincerely motivated re-form
of the draft would "abolish

`Magic Flute' is salute to brotherhood
Students infiltrate education system
by Pat Morey
Each year Bethel sends out a
minority of its students as infil-trators.
This year there are about
twenty of these aliens scattered
throughout the Twin Cities work-ing
their ways into the educational
systems of elementary and high
schools.
By the rulers of the alien ground
they are feared, ignored, hated,
and sometimes encouraged. By the
students they are considered a
variety of things from "dumb" to
"hip."
The student teacher's plight is
one of "old enough to fight but
not old enough to vote." The gen-eral
consensus of Bethel's student
teachers is dismal. The problems
they encounter vary with the geo-graphical
areas, educational areas,
and ages of the classes.
One teacher, for instance, work-ing
at an inner city high school
finds that besides discipline, her
biggest problem is how to con-vince
the senior boys she real-ly
is a teacher. The discipline
problem is even harder than
that to deal with and is not at
all an individual one. Every stu-dent
teacher has encountered it.
The students know this is not
their real teacher and are hyper-critical
of him as a person and
as a lesson-planner.
Not only is the student teacher
judged by the students but also
by his supervising teacher, by
possible job interviewers, by prin-cipals,
and sometimes by other
student teachers. He is required
to be imaginative with a minimum
of training and quite often with
inferior teaching budgets. That
there may not be enough art
materials or English books is not
his fault, of course, but he feels
the loss more than a teacher who
has been planning exciting new
lessons each day for the last ten
years.
Another of the problems that
has to be conquered is how to get
used to taking coffee breaks either
in stony silence in the teacher's
lounge or in the more genial but
less academic atmosphere of the
janior's lounge.
The dissension among paid
teachers affects the student teach-ers
not only because of the fear
those pillars of educational forti-tude
harbor against the underlings
who may steal their paychecks,
but also because they worry
whether the infiltrators will do
just that — infiltrate new sys-tems
of learning or better, more
interesting ideas than their stag-nant
minds can slough off.
The attitudes of our messengers
of knowledge, though, are deter-mined.
They admit to being scar-ed,
inexperienced, and unwanted;
but they are determined to over-come.
After all, next year they will
be part of the system earning
money for the things they are
learning now. And then they can
show their well-behaved, intelli-gent
classes to the infiltrators of
"70-'71 who will promptly create
unparalleled havoc for them and
their system.

Pain's private—hide it well;

Don't share it; you'd be vulnerable
to all the cruel, rude

of callous friends and foes.
Never let a word or act

Passions pass, and friends will fail—
Don't let yourself be caught

Misinform with a mask
and shield your tender breast.
Be sure that no one pierces

You're safe behind your walls

Each year the Bethel Bookstore,
managed by Robert Bergerud,
gives a $50 grant-in-aid to a
deserving, needy student at Beth-el.
With the purchase of a 35 cent
"Campus Pac" students receive a
collection of products worth $2
and nominate a Bethel freshman
to be the recipient of a $50 grant-in-
aid. The grant comes from the
money received, above the cost
of obtaining the "Campus Pac."
The "Campus Pac" includes
such practical items as deoderant,
soap, Excedrin, nail polish, and
a Bic pen for girls and Enden,
English Leather, soap, and tooth-paste
for boys.
The "Campus Pac" is made pos-sible
by manufacturers who want
ness, and the Illusions, roughly
categorizeable as soul, folk-rock,
and psychedelic respectively. All
three played, and the education
groups made their endorsement.
Wiley L. Housewright, national
president of NEMC and former
dean of the Florida State Univer-sity
Music School, took the podium,
expressing his interest in the cur-rent
state of rock music. "It is a
fact that youth music and paritcu-larly
rock have caused a confronta-tion
. . . between students and
teachers, between young people
and their parents, and between
youth music and the established
student grant
sumers.
The "Campus Pac" will go on
sale Monday, November 10th.
Those who purchase one will at
that time also be able to then nom-inate
a freshman student to re-ceive
the grant. The nomination
should be one who is worthy, in
need of financial assistance, and
who will not likely receive other
scholarship money.
Need, spirit, and academics
ought to be considered in that
order. The ten Freshmen who
receive the most nominations will
be submitted to the Student Per-sonnel
Committee. The final se-lection
will be made by the Com-mittee
with the consideration of
the Parents' Confidential State-ment.

Halloween night is a night of
parties and trick-or-treating. I
chose instead to see and hear the
concert version of Mozart's "The
Magic Flute" and although I may
have missed the parties and tricks,
I was certainly in on a wonderful
treat.
If a superlative is not out of
order, I'll say that the Minnesota
Orchestra under the direction of
Maestro Skrowaczewski was in one
of its finest moments. From the
very beginning of the overture,
there was no doubt the audience
would not be disappointed.
The concert version of any opera
necessarily changes the opera's
essential nature. The orchestra is
on the stage instead of in the
pit, there is no scenery, and the
singers merely sing, so the action
is limited. A narrator supplies
what action does in the true opera.
The excellent narration written
by Erich Leinsdorf, former Music
Director of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, took away from the
opera in certain instances. I wait-ed
in vain for many humorous

chantment in the high schools

Seigel, who led Berkeley stu-dents
into a confrontation with
police over the People's Park issue
last school year, said the adminis-tration's
legislation is insufficient
because it contains no provisions
for federal regulation of local
draft boards, which he said have
acted in an "arbitrary" manner,
often times denying registrants
their rights.
While many are optimistic about
the lottery's chances for approval
by the House, it is almost certain
the Senate will postpone action.
Senator Stennis holds the key. It
lines that were completely left
out. For example, when the magic
flute brings Papageno a glass of
wine, he exclaims, "That's what I
call service." (A loose translation
from the German.) But in other
places, where the plot slows down,
a short narration took the place
of long, slow moving sections. In
the long run, Leinsdorf did Mozart
a favor.
With the exception of the so-prano
lead, Benita Valente, all the
vocal talent was local and we
have something to be proud of.
Santa Roche demonstrated bril-liant
coluratura technique and a-roused
the audience to applause
after nearly every aria. James
Christiansen was an exciting Pa-pageno.
The St. Paul Cathedral
Boy's Choir provided a trio of
boy sopranos and an alto. If you
have never heard a boy soprano,
you are missing a rare treat. The
few chorus parts were performed
by the fine St. Olaf Choir.
The plot of "The Magic Flute"
can be somewhat confusing. When
Mozart and his librettist began,
they had a cute little fairy-tale
is his committee on armed services
which must decide whether to send
the bill to the Senate floor.
Stennis reportedly has taken the
position that he will bring up the
lottery proposal in committee this
year only if he has assurances
that no amendments will be of-fered
once it is on the floor. Mem-bers
of his own party have not
even agreed to withhold their
amendments. However, Senator
Kennedy, the Democratic whip,
said last week, "The deficiencies
of the present system are so glar-ing,"
that he would propose a
"comprehensive change" if the lot-tery
proposal were brought to
the floor.

the good queen. His reward is to
be the hand of the princess and
they will eventually live happily
ever after.
In the middle of the undertaking
of writing the opera, the composer
and author, for some unknown rea-son,
changed their nice bedtime
story to an allegory of freemason-ry.
The characters become symbols
of masonic ritual and life itself.
The opera is a profound monu-ment
to the Classical ideal of
universal brotherhood of all men.
But above the symbolism and mys-tery,
Mozart's musical wit remains,
as does his solemnity.
It is amazing to me that Mozart
wrote the opera in the last year
of his short lie while he was
burdened with mounting debts and
serious illness. Even more amazing
is that although he was writing
light opera for an unsophisticated
audience, the true genius of Mo-zart
came through just as strong
as in his other great works.
"The Magic Flute" is truly
delightful opera. Yes.

The house minority leader's recent allegations that the Armed Forces
have been operating under serious restrictions placed upon them by
President Richard Nixon have produced major repercussions throughout
the football world. It seems that the "no-win" philosophy which controls
our actions in the Far East has been applied to football at the nation's
three major service academies.
* * *
Where are the sceptics who earlier this football season predicted
that the Royal football team would not even finish the season? As hard
as it may be to believe the team actually seems to have gotten better
as the season has progressed; and that is saying a lot for 25 hard-working
guys. With only one game left, and that being Saturday at Hamline, the
team should be going all out. They're going to have to because Hamline
is very good.
* * *
And while we're talking about the Hamline game, I might as well
say something to the female fans. Girls, I know that you like to sit in
your dorm rooms on Saturday afternoons and dream about your Prince
Charming or eat worms because no one has asked you out for a month.
But Nik Dag will be here in a week, and the best opportunity to look
over the Bethel boys will be at the game Saturday afternoon. Quit feel-ing
sorry for yourselves and get out and mingle—how can someone ask
you out when he doesn't even know you from the wallpaper in your
room. Nik Dag is where the shoe is on the other foot, ladies, and there
won't be anyone to blame but yourself if you don't get a date. So look
over the boys at the game on Saturday, and you might even like the
game. Besides, it's our last chance to watch the football team this year.
See you at Hamline at 2:00 p.m., and don't bring your coccoons.

If you notice any bald boys walking around campus do not be
alarmed. It is only the basketball team with a new image. The six re-turning
lettermen and Coach Jack Traeger got together and decided that
the team would be more united and would certainly play better if every-one
shaved their heads. Besides, Dan Larson and Angus McFeldman said
that it would be a good defensive trick since the gym lights would reflect
off the bald heads into the opponents' eyes. Coach Traeger said that wigs
would be all right for off court activities.
Field hockey team closes
season with win and loss
Saturday, at 10:00 A.M., the Roy-als
will face the Hamline team on
their field, two blocks east of
Hamline's Norton Field. Hamline
has had an off year, picking up
only one victory and being mired
in last place in the MiI.A.C. Beth-el
will be out to wind up the sea-son
with a resounding victory over
the Pipers.
Bethel's young soccer club ad-ded
another feather in its cap
last Saturday. The contest ended
up in a one-all tie. The competi-tion
was provided by the Interna-tional
team from the University
of Minnesota.
The foreigners were missing a
few players to a different game
and were playing their fourth
game of the week. On the other
hand, man for man, they com-pletely
outclassed the Royals. The
Bethel squad had not had a regu-lar
practice since the preceding
Monday, and was not scheduled
Led by a potent running attack
and a strong defensive charge,
Bemidji State crushed the Royal
gridders 59-13 last Saturday. The
Beavers dominated play in the
second and fourth quarters, and
handed Bethel its eighth defeat
of the season.
Bemidji broke the scoring ice
with 5:59 left in the first quarter
on a 16 yard touchdown run by
Clark Bergloff. Faking a placekick
conversion, the Beavers tried a
two point play. It failed when
quarterback Steve Collins was
tackled by several Royal defend-ers.
Bethel bounced right back how-ever,
scoring in thirteen plays
after returning the kickoff to the
35 yard line. On the first play,
Barry Anderson plowed through
the middle for 11 yards, and Pete
Roemer matched that on an end
run. Murray Sitte then hit Tom
Swanson on a rollout pass for
another first down on the Bemidji
29.
On third and 10 two plays later,
Sitte dumped a quick pass to Dan
until Friday afternoon when the
University insisted upon a match.
Bethel's only score came quickly
enough. Lee Granlund waltzed
down to the goal and scored
thirty seconds after the opening
whistle. The International's scored
later in the first half.
From a spectator's standpoint
it looked as though Bethel was
being played with. The University
team had the most superior ball
control and passing that the Beth-el
team has seen all year. They
did everything possible with a
soccer ball except put it into the
net. The fullback line of Ray
Smith, Denny Peterson, and Wen-dahl
Wahlen earned commendation
for that exception.
One of the University players,
talking to co-captain Dan Ander-son
after the game, affirmed the
fact that they were trying to win
but could not score.
Brown, who moved to the 18. On
second and ten Pete Roemer
crashed through the line for a
first and goal on the seven. On
the next two plays the teams
traded penalties, the Royals gain-ing
one yard in the exchange.
Murray Sitte ran for three yards
and on third down, Pete Roemer
took a pitchout and raced around
left end for Bethel's first score.
Cal Harfst's perfect placekick
fade the score Bethel 7, Bemidji

Starting at their own 19, Bem-idji
kept the ball on the ground,
hammering away at the Bethel
line. With the ball on the Royal
13 quarterback Larry Otterblad
faked into the line and bootlegged
around end for the TD.
Bemidji scored two more times
in that quarter for a 17-7 halftime
lead.
On the third play of the second
half, Bemidji fumbled and Fred
Swedberg recovered for the Roy-als.

Think Ski Club!
Think snow! Or so the saying
goes among those of the recently
formed Bethel Ski Club; more in-formally
known as the "Bethel
Ski Bums."
The club wants to interest as
many Bethelites as possible in
skiing. To facilitate this interest,
the club is working towards re-opening
and operating the slope
at Arden Hills which was in opera-tion
the winter of '67-'68.
While the Arden Hills effort
is essentially beginner oriented,
the club has tentatively scheduled
several day-skis and several week-enders,
with the possibility of a
four day trip to Sugar Hills (near
Grand Rapids, Minn.) between In-terim
and the beginning of second
semester. Exact dates, fees and
slope will be announced.
Membership in the "Bethel Ski
Bums" is open to any and all of
the Bethel community, both col-lege
and seminary. A $5.00 mem-bership
fee is required. This fee
may be paid to the club's account
at the banking window in t h e
College Building.
Future meetings wil be posted
in the daily calendar.
berg got off an excellent kick and
the Beavers took over on the 20.
On the next play, junior half-back
Jack Hill burst up the mid-dle
for an 80 yard touchdown.
Mike Lazur then caught a pass
for two points on the conversion.
On the second play of the fourth
quarter, Tom Enger hit paydirt
for Bemidji on a three yard run.
A few minutes later John Rode-baugh
grabbed a pass for another
Beaver score.
Bethel's final tally came with
6:12 left in the game. Bob Olsen,
who had been shaken up early in
the game, snatched a pass from
Sitte for a 60 yard TD play. Olsen
was hit extremely hard just after
catching the ball, but shook off
the tackler and sprinted up the
near sideline into the end zone.
Bemidji scored again with just
seconds left in the game. Dick
Sheehan cut off a Murray Sitte
pass intended for Dave Pound,
and galloped 63 yards.
Tomorrow Bethel faces Hamline
whose season record is 5-2. The
Royals are seeking to avenge the
33-7 loss to the Pipers last season.
Bethel's field hockey team won
and the hot fudge sundaes have
been devoured! The long-sought
victory came when Bethel trounced
St. Catherine's team 3-0.
The first goal was made by
Diane Klinefelter early in the
first period. The goal seemed to
set the team on fire and the rest
of the game was all Bethel. The
defense played such a strong game
that the goalie never had to play
the ball. Sarah Reasoner made the
second goal on a pass late in the
period and Sharon Johnson scored
in the second half. Victory was
sweet!
Tuesday, Bethel played against
the University of Minnesota and
were defeated 5-1. Everything that
had gone well the day before fell
apart. The Gophers completely
controlled the game with long,
fast passes and concentrated de-fense.
Bethel had one honor, how-ever
��� the University has been
scored against only twice in their
entire season and Bethel has the
distinction of scoring one of those
goals.
Last year Bethel's field hockey
team did not taste sundaes or
victory once. As the season comes
to a close, this year's record stands
at 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 ties.

Bethel College, St. Paul Minn. Friday, November 7, 1969
Schools throughout area plan moratorium
According to the Student Mob-ilization
Committee, as the No-vember
13 Moratorium nears,
prospects for the strike are look-ing
better and better.
In the Twin Cities SMC chap-ters
have organized or are in the
process of being organized in over
thirty high schools, four junior
highs, four colleges and a junior
college. Other colleges through-out
the state are planning actions
in connection with the November
13 and 14 Moratorium and will
send contingents to Minneapolis to
participate in the strike rally and
march.
Most chapters in the Twin Cities
are planning local activities in
the form of assemblies, walk-outs
or picketing from 8 a.m. to 11
a.m.
Between 11 and 12 students will
converge on the University of
Minnesota mall to the sounds of
rock music and guerilla theater.
Speakers at the rally which be-gins
at noon will include people
from SMC, the Twin City Draft
Information Center, and an active
duty GI. At 1 p.m. participants
will march down University Av-enue
to the New Federal Build-ing
and encircle the building with
a massive symbolic picket line.
In the evening the New Mobil-ization
Committee is sponsoring a
sendoff rally in the Minneapolis
Armory. Buses headed for Wash-ington
will leave at that time and
early Friday morning.
SMC, which is a member of the
New Mobilization Committee seems
to be receiving significant sup-port
in its attempt to mobilize
students for the moratorium. The
Mac Community College of Mac-alester
College has voted to en-dorse
the strike and is buying
three buses to transport students
to Washington. The Minnesota
Student Association (University of
The "Magic of the South Sea
Islands" will entrance your ears
at the 9th annual Bethel Band
Pops Concert occuring tonight at
8:00 in the fieldhouse.
A South Sea Island Motiff will
set off the band as they play
through numbers presenting sea-sonal
settings, nationalistic flavor,
holiday moods, and South Sea
Island Music.
To highlight the atmosphere of
the concert, band members will
don Island costumes during the
second part of the program.
Minnesota) has also endorsed the
strike and agreed to co-sign a let-ter
which will be sent to high
school and college student govern-ments
throughout the state urg-ing
them to support the strike.
Momentum for the November
13-15 Moratorium seems to be
building up on the same scale
nationally as it is locally. An ad
scheduled to appear in the Novem-ber
9 issue of the New York Times
which calls for immediate with-drawal
from Vietnam and asks
the American people to support
the March on Washington has al-ready
been signed by 1500 GI's,
190 of whom are in Vietnam.
Colleges throughout the state
which plan to send a contingent
to Minneapolis for the Moratori-um
include University of Minne-sota-
Duluth, Northfield, St. Cloud,
Moorhead, Gustavus Adolphus,
and Mankato.
In the words of Julius Whit-inger,
director of the band, the
purpose of the Pops Concert is
to present a night of "good musi-cal
fun and enjoyment". Gerry
Healy will narrate the program.
The concert is sponsored by the
Bethel Women's Auxiliary. Ad-mission
is $1 for adults, 50 cents
for students, and 25 cents for
children.
Band officers this year are:
Bruce Otto, president; Dan Mogck,
vice-president; Diane Lewis, secre-tary;
Carol McLain, treasurer;
Terry Sheetz, band manager.
Band performs tonight
Senate, new senators leap into action
Committees obstruct student unrest legistation
Senate proposes soccer
as varsity sport for '70
The senate after several weeks
of discussion, seemed to leap in-to
action Tuesday night with a
number of significant decisions.
Perhaps the newly elected sen-ators
had something to do with
the renewed life in the repre-sentative
body.
As a result of elections October
24, the senate gained eleven new
senators. From the freshman class
Donald Dewer, Anne Dalton, Joel
Goff, Ron Troxel, and Gail Sog-retti
were elected. Sophomores
Jan Wyma and Lee Granlund and
juniors Karen Nelson and Dan
Larson also joined the senate
along with Thomas Mesaros and
Norma Wilcox as senators at
large.
Because of the resignation of
senior senator Jan Hurt and con-fusion
concerning the length of
term for Steve Lambrides, the
senior class now has two vacan-cies
in the senate. They will be
filled through a special election
November 14. Declarations for the
offices will be due November 11,
petitions, November 13.
After many weeks of discussion,
senate subcommittee plans were
finalized. The purpose of the sub-committees
is according to Presi-dent
Shupe to aid the senate in
becoming a more active body as
opposed to its rather passive tem-perment
now and in previous
years. Through the committees,
senate members will be taking a
better look at campus social life,
student retention, new campus
plans, athletics, and educational
reform.
It was agreed among the sena-tors
that committees should be
assigned dates to report and
should appear at that time with
mimeographed copies of their re-ports
and suggested legislation.
The new campus committee will
report November 25, athletic com-mittee
December 2, social life
December 9.
The senators also discussed the
problems of athletics on campus.
It was generally agreed that an
attempt should be made to make
soccer a varsity sport in the corn-ing
year, but that it should not
pre-empt football. The concensus
was that there was room for both
at Bethel. In the words of fresh-man
senator Joel Goff "The foot-ball
team should either be proper-ly
funded or the sport should be
dropped. It's not fair to the stu-dents
and especially to the players
to ask them to put forth under
the present conditions."
Following discussion on the
topic, the senate passed a motion
reading "We move that the Ath-letic
Department of Bethel Col-lege
move forward in maintaining
football as an intercollegiate sport.
This Bethel tradition is whole
heartedly supported by the Sen-ate
and we feel immediate action
should be taken to insure its ex-istance.
Also we move that the
Athletic Department recognize soc-cer
as a varsity sport by the
autumn of 1970 and urge they will
be preparing now for making this
a reality.'
The final topic under discussion
was that of a constitutional
amendment concerning the duties
of the Vice President of the Stu-dent
Association. The Vice Presi-dent
was given the formal position
of presiding officer of the senate
with the right to vote in the event
there should be a tie in the
amendment changes. The previous
position of the vice presidency
had entailed no specific duties.
The amendment was unanimously
passed by the senators present at
the meeting.
Washington ( C P S ) — Of at
least 15 bills on the subject of
student unrest submitted to the
U.S. Congress this session, not
one has yet come out of commit-tee.
Four bills have been referred
to the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee where action
is pending. Eleven other bills
were referred to the House Spec-ial
Subcommittee on Education
where hearings were held in May.
No further action has been taken.
The Senate bills include:
S. 2055, introduced by Norris
Cotton of New Hampshire to pro-vide
that institutions of higher
education that have failed to take
necessary steps to maintain a
reasonable degree of discipline
upon their campuses shall be un-able
to receive federal contracts.
DANANG, Vietnam ( C P S ) —
Betting among GIs in Vietnam is
heavy these days.
Everyone—from green privates
to seasoned top brass—is offering
odds on how the South Vietnamese
troops will fare once American
ground combat forces are with-drawn.
Some bet that with U.S. materi-al
and intelligence aid, the South
Vietnam Army (usually simply
called the ARVN) will h o 1 d .
Others are laying dead certain
odds they w ill be pitiously
crushed.
But no one knows for sure.
Only time will tell.
Perhaps the GIs with the best
inside tips about the future are
the U.S. military advisors who
work with ARVN units. Most of
them openly admit that the ARVN
troops have a long way to go be-fore
they can equal the U.S. troops
now in the war zone. But they
quickly add that the ARVNs have
already come a long way.
"The change they've made is
unbelievable," said one advisor
S. Joint Res. 109, introduced by
Walter Mondale of Minnesota to
provide for a study of student
unrest on U.S. campuses.
S. 2803 introduced by Robert
Byrd of West Virginia to encour-age
institutions of higher educa-tion
to adopt rules to govern the
conduct of students and faculty,
to assure the right of free ex-pression
and to assist such insti-tutions
in their eforts to prevent
and control campus disturbances.
S. 2520 introduced by Thomas
Eagleton of Missouri to amend
the Higher Education Act of 1965
to provide a means of preventing
civil disturbances from disrupting
federal assistance programs and
activities at institutions of higher
education.
House bills include:
H. R. 10074 introduced by Wil-recently
at Cu Chi, near Saigon. He
had served as an advisor in 1964
and returned to the same job last
April after a two year absence.
"Everybody's mad now 'cause
they (the ARVNs) won't patrole
at night," he said. "Well, maybe
they should bitch. Back in '64 I
couldn't even get them to fight
Sunday's. They've come a long
way."
Indeed, the change has been re-markable.
In 1964, before the mas-sive
American troop build-up be-gan,
the ARVNs could have star-red
in an Our Gang comedy.
They were armed with cast-off
World War II weapons. Many did-n't
even have uniforms, and the
desertion rate was an embarrassing
15 per cent of all ARVN forces.
Since then they have grown to
their present size of nearly one
million men under arms. The U.S.
has supplied over half of these
with M16 rifles. American aid has
also given them powerful artillery,
armored personnel carriers, heli-copters,
patrol boats, transport
ships and fighter bombers.
Liam Harsha of Ohio to require
the suspension of federal financial
assistance to colleges and univer-sities
which are experiencing cam-pus
disorders and fail to take ap-propriate
corrective me a s u r es
within a reasonable time and to
require the termination of federal
financial assistance to teachers,
instructors, and lecturers guilty of
violation of any law in connection
with such disorders.
H. R. 10136 introduced by Dan
Kuykendall of Tennessee to re-quire
the suspension of federal
financial assistance to colleges and
universities which are experienc-ing
campus disorders and fail to
take appropriate corrective meas-ures
forthwith and to require the
suspension of federal financial as-sistance
to teachers participating
in such disorders.
And each day a U.S. "assistance
package"-10 troop carrying heli-copters,
four chopper gunships and
a command and control helicopter
—is assigned to every ARVN di-vision.
But even with all this, there
are still major problems. The big-est
of them, U.S. advisors from
all parts of the country agree, is
spirit.
"Sometimes I wonder how much
they really care," an advisor said
earlier this month while on a
maneuver with ARVNs 30 miles
South of DaNang. "Maybe I'd feel
the same way if I was them. But
sometimes they're just not as ag-gressive
as we'd like to see them.
They just don't seem to pit every-thing
into it."
A primary example of what
appears to be an increasing lack of
spirit is the growing desertion
rate. It has become so critical
that in late June a special, secret
session of the South Vietnam Se-nate
was called to inform legis-lators
that an average of 11,000

Vietnamization produces problems, doubts
Ought silent citizen keep
right to representation?
The address to the nation by President Nixon November 3, caused
me to pause and rethink the premises upon which this nation was
founded.
The phrase which recurred to me was "the silent majority." Nixon
said that he "would be untrue to my oath of office if I were to submit
to the vocal minority who want to lose in Vietnam. If the vocal
minority overcome the majority" he said, "this country is in danger."
This reasoning can be questioned on two accounts. First, if this
silent majority is what Nixon says it is — a silent majority — how
does he claim to concur with what they desire? Perhaps the silent
majority really has no opinion on the issue. Perhaps the Vietnam
situation has never come close enough to require them to think about
it and form an opinion.
Or perhaps the silent majority is silently agreeing with the vocal
minority. In either case, it would seem rather dishonorable for the
President to claim that he is acting in accordance with their beliefs,
on a national issue retain his right as a citizen to be represented on
which is not expressed cannot be acted upon.
The second question hits at a more basic level of our government.
Does the citizen who has no opinion or does not express his opinion
on a national issue retain his right as a citizen to re represented on
that issue? Does the citizen who does not exercize his rights really
have any?
Is it reasonable to assume that if a person does not take advantage
of his rights, he does not have any? Of what value is something that
is not used?
It would seem that those citizens who care enough to express an
opinion ought to be the citizens who are considered in representation.

method of editorializing
"WHERE DO THEM PUNKS GET THEIR IDEAS?"
eax
by Tom Ford
The Nixon Doctrine
page 2
the CLARION Friday, November 7, 1969
Nixon accused of misinterpretation
To the editor:
Your editorial of October 24
raises a number of problems.
One, the problem of quotations
when quoting rather freely from
conservation in committee meet-ings,
personal engagements in the
Coffee Shop, or in a professor's
office. The people cited, includ-ing
myself, would have appreciat-ed
the privilege of review of the
quotations before press release.
Conversations will become much
more guarded if it is felt that you
or a member of your staff are
quoting without care or respon-sibility.
Whenever a person writes
or speaks in public, he should
realize that he is vulnerable to
criticism. However, private con-versation
is quite another matter.
If I had known that our table talk
conversation was going to be
printed, I would have at least ap-preciated
checking the proper se-quence
of ideas.
Two, the problem of inner-school
communications. If you or any
other campus group did not obtain
signals from departments, teach-ers,
administration, students, etc.,
is the editorial column the place
to hoist the flag of communication
failure? Telephone, inter-office
memos, even coffee cup conversa-tion
are still open channels for
communication and the building
of bridges for understanding.
Three, the problem of image.
In that we only know in part, it
is questionable that any one seg-ment
of the community can be
sure of the "true image." We need
to relate to each other if we are
to see how Bethel looks. We need
to hear from outside constituencies
if we are going to approximate
the "true image."
It is easy to distort an image
if only part of the picture is re-vealed.
From your editorial, the
reader cannot get the part of the
image of Mr. Whitinger and Dr.
Berglund as conscientious, dedi-cated,
well trained and disciplined
musicians. In their specialties,
these men carry the respect of
their peers in the music world.
I, for one, am prepared to listen
carefully to these men. I may not
always agree with them, but fully
support them in their right to
fulfill their commitments to the
best of their abilities and profes-sional
training.
Sincerely,
Virgil A. Olson

I. F. Stone was adamant.
Only minutes after President
Nixon had concluded his much-promoted
speech on Vietnam, the
radical political writer and editor
of I. F. Stone's Weekly, told CPS,
"It was a disastrous speech for
him and for the country."
"If he was supposed to be talk-ing
to the silent majority, he's
going to find the ranks of his
majority growing smaller by talk-ing
like that."
"This is Johnson and Rusk all
over again," Stone said. "He (Nix-
On Monday night, in his address
to the nation, Preident Nixon made
reference to his "no more Viet-nams
policy" known as the Nixon
Doctrine. This doctrine is Mr.
Nixon's application of what the
United States has hopefully learn-ed
from our Southeast Asian in-volvement.
After a July summit with our
Pacific Allies the President out-lined
this doctrine to which, in a
joint statement, the governments
of the Phillipines, Thailand, Mal-asia,
and Indonesia gave their en-dorsement.
Mr. Nixon pledged that the
United States would honor all of
its treaty obligations. The United
States withdrawal from Vietnam
would not be released from our
commitments in the area, but
American commitments are now
to take a different form.
In the future, the national forces
of Southeast Asia will be doing
all of the combat duty with the
U.S. contributing supplies and
training for the allies. In this way
America c a n avoid committing
ground troops to Asian wars.
With the single exception of
South Vietnam, our Asian allies
are reasonably stable and popular
governments. In the event of a
guerilla war it is essential that the
government be able to muster the
support of the people, and it ap-pears
that the governmentS of
Thailand, Malasia, Burma, and
even to some extent Laos are cap-able
of mustering popular sup-port.
The new role of the United
States will be to fill the gaps—
both economic and material—that
on) has distorted history and the
Ho Chi Minh letter."
Stone said the letter, which
Nixon did not read but released
to the press after the speech,
was a soft spoken, letter — it was
moderate and it held hope for
peace."
Nixon portrayed the letter, writ-ten
by Ho only a few days before
his death in answer to a Nixon
letter, as giving no shred of hope
for peace.
As for Nixon's interpretation of
history, Stone accused him o f
blaming every president in the last
20 years but himself for the war.
"He didn't say that in 1954 when
he was vice president, he wanted
are characteristic of Asian nations.
During peace, the U.S. will invest
in the economic development of
our allies.
We will also be responsible for
the training and equiping of the
armed forces of these nations. If
war should flare up, we will ad-vise
and supply as necessary but,
we will avoid commiting ground
forces.
A second part of the Nixon Doc-trine
is the establishment of a
Nuclear umbrella over Southeast
Asia. In the event that one of our
allies is threatened by a nuclear
power, the U.S. will commit its
nuclear capability to deter the
threat.
This is, of course, an attempt to
equalize the balance of power be-tween
the nuclear capability of
Red China and the conventional
capabilities of the South East
Asian nations. America is attempt-ing
to make sure that all wars
in Southeast Asia remain conven-tional.
The Nixon Doctrine has already
been applied to Laos and is being
applied in Thailand. With the
Vietnamization of the war, it is
being applied to Vietnam.
The Doctrine does, however,
acknowledge a direct military role
for our Air Force. American
bombers will still work in con-junction
wtih government forces,
as they now do in Laos and Viet-nam.
This area of inconsistency is
based upon the assumption that
our allies are not yet capable of
mounting an air attack, which has
become essential to fighting anti-guerilla
wars.
to send ground troops in." (Stone
is the author of a new book on
government practices in the fif-ties.)
"This is Nixon's war from
way back," he said.
Stone was particularly angered
by Nixon's comparisons between
the Vietnam War and the two
World Wars. "To mistake Ho for
the Kaiser or Hitler is ridiculous;
it's absolutely silly," he said.
On the mid-November anti-war
protests, Stone said, "I think the
protests will grow bigger. The
people expected at least some con-cessions
if Nixon hoped to keep
the protest down at all. There
were none at all. It's just more of
the same."

WASHINGTON ( C P S ) — As
prospects diminish that both legis-lative
branches will pass the ad-ministration's
lottery draft pro-posal
by the end of this year,
chances increase that President
Nixon will enact by executive or-der
a "conveyor belt" system of
induction in early 1970.
Under this form of conscription,
19-year-olds would be made the
"prime age group" for draft calls
with their liability to the draft
limited to one year. Age would
determine the order of induction.
A person whose 19th birthday fell
during January would be called
up before a person with a Febru-ary
birthday.
Since it discriminates against
those with birthdays early in the
year (persons born in October, No-vember
or December might never
be subject to the draft), the con-veyor
belt would be less equitable
than a lottery, under which one
of the year's 365 days would be
picked at random and all 19-year
olds born on that date made
draftable.
Both approaches to procuring
military power would reduce a
person's draft vulnerability from
seven years to one, making him
draft free at age 20. Both would
defer college students, placing
them in the pool of draftable for
one year after graduation, and
both would defer graduate stu-dents
until they have completed
the full academic year.
But the lottery, unlike the con-veyor
belt, can't be established
with congressional approval. Both
the Senate and House have to
vote to change a provision in the
1967 Selective Service Act prohi-biting
random selecion of draftees.
And everyone, from Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.), a leading pro-ponent
of draft reform, to Sen.

Unknown to many Bethel stu-dents,
the Food Service Commit-tee,
headed by Steve Lambrides,
has been actively working on im-provements
of the Bethel Food
Service. These improvements have
ranged from such minor items
as the publication of the menu,
to more noticable accomplishments
such as improved breakfasts.
A major complaint offered by
students has been the slowness
of the service, causing long lines
and much time wasted standing
around waiting to eat. The com-mittee
investigated the possibility
of a second serving line.
This would, however, according
to the Minnesota Health Service,
require permanent structures ra-ther
than the mere addition of
tables with food. The least ex-pensive
structure would run about
$1500 and this would be inade-quate
for Bethel. The committee
has suggested that students could
improve service by moving as
quickly as possible through the
line, without loitering in the ser-vice
area. This would also en-courage
those serving to work
more quickly.
A training table for athletes is
being looked into. In the mean-time,
athletes are being served
training table meals on the day
of their athletic contests.
The decor of the cafeteria will
be improved by the addition of
an art exhibit. The work will be
that of students and prices will
be posted so that the work can
be sold.
A nutrition expert from the
John Stennis (D-Miss.), chairman
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, is predicting this won't
occur until Congress reconvenes
next year.
The reason is that many legis-lators,
desiring more sweeping Se-lective
Service reforms, are unwil-ling
to go along with the adminis-tration
and its congressional lead-ership
in speedily passing the lo-tery
without considering amend-ments.
In a press conference sponsored
by the National Council to Repeal
the Draft, Reps. Shirley Chisholm,
Edward Koch and Leonard Farb-stein,
all New York Democrats,
criticized the lottery proposal as
too minor a reform. They called
for total abolition of military con-scription.
Rep. Chisholm had three ob-jections:
1) By continuing the practice
of granting student deferments,
the lottery would sanction further
class and race discrimination in
that white middle and upper class
students could avoid military ser-vice
by going to college whereas
poorer non-white youth unable to
afford college, would be inducted.
2) It would be more difficult for
non-college youth to acquire jobs
while in the age bracket between
17, the average age of high school
graduation, and 19, the year of
the lottery. Career plans would
thus have to be delayed.
3) Any form of conscription is
unfair since it involves involuntary
servitude, and passage of the lot-tery
would constitute affirmation
of an injustice.
Koch and Farbstein had amend-ments.
Koch's would permit what
he termed "selective conscientious
objection" — a category of persons
objecting to a particular war on
moral or religious grounds. They
University of Minnesota may be
asked to come and evaluate the
nutritional value of the food serv-ed
at Bethel and make suggestions
for improvement.
Investigation into the possibility
of using the Saga Food Service
has begun. This would mean a
greater quantity of food but would
result in additional expense to
the students. During the second
semester, the committee sees a
possibility of introducing a refer-endum
through the Senate i n
which students would vote to levy
o n themselves a n additional
charge of between $25 and $50
a year for improved food ser-vice.
In addition, the committee has
achieved such things as sweet rolls
served for breakfast, obtaining bet-ter
drinks at a lower price and
less expensive eggs. The committee
chairman, Steve Lambrides had
this to say: "These last two ac-complishments
resulted in a sav-ings
which was returned to the
Food Service, resulting in a saving
for students. The cooperation of
the Food Service has been out-standing
and has made these

Farbstein's would abolish the

Palmer said the lottery proposal
did little but "plant hasty patches

Any system of forced service to

Hawk said sincerely motivated re-form
of the draft would "abolish

`Magic Flute' is salute to brotherhood
Students infiltrate education system
by Pat Morey
Each year Bethel sends out a
minority of its students as infil-trators.
This year there are about
twenty of these aliens scattered
throughout the Twin Cities work-ing
their ways into the educational
systems of elementary and high
schools.
By the rulers of the alien ground
they are feared, ignored, hated,
and sometimes encouraged. By the
students they are considered a
variety of things from "dumb" to
"hip."
The student teacher's plight is
one of "old enough to fight but
not old enough to vote." The gen-eral
consensus of Bethel's student
teachers is dismal. The problems
they encounter vary with the geo-graphical
areas, educational areas,
and ages of the classes.
One teacher, for instance, work-ing
at an inner city high school
finds that besides discipline, her
biggest problem is how to con-vince
the senior boys she real-ly
is a teacher. The discipline
problem is even harder than
that to deal with and is not at
all an individual one. Every stu-dent
teacher has encountered it.
The students know this is not
their real teacher and are hyper-critical
of him as a person and
as a lesson-planner.
Not only is the student teacher
judged by the students but also
by his supervising teacher, by
possible job interviewers, by prin-cipals,
and sometimes by other
student teachers. He is required
to be imaginative with a minimum
of training and quite often with
inferior teaching budgets. That
there may not be enough art
materials or English books is not
his fault, of course, but he feels
the loss more than a teacher who
has been planning exciting new
lessons each day for the last ten
years.
Another of the problems that
has to be conquered is how to get
used to taking coffee breaks either
in stony silence in the teacher's
lounge or in the more genial but
less academic atmosphere of the
janior's lounge.
The dissension among paid
teachers affects the student teach-ers
not only because of the fear
those pillars of educational forti-tude
harbor against the underlings
who may steal their paychecks,
but also because they worry
whether the infiltrators will do
just that — infiltrate new sys-tems
of learning or better, more
interesting ideas than their stag-nant
minds can slough off.
The attitudes of our messengers
of knowledge, though, are deter-mined.
They admit to being scar-ed,
inexperienced, and unwanted;
but they are determined to over-come.
After all, next year they will
be part of the system earning
money for the things they are
learning now. And then they can
show their well-behaved, intelli-gent
classes to the infiltrators of
"70-'71 who will promptly create
unparalleled havoc for them and
their system.

Pain's private—hide it well;
shed tears in solitude.
Don't share it; you'd be vulnerable
to all the cruel, rude
and brutal barbs from bows
of callous friends and foes.
Never let a word or act
betray a soul-felt thought.
Passions pass, and friends will fail—
Don't let yourself be caught
having sacrificed your veiling guile
for a pseudo-sympathetic smile.
Misinform with a mask
and shield your tender breast.
Be sure that no one pierces
your pain-proof vest.
You're safe behind your walls
from loveless, sadistic men,
but you've asked yourself a question

How does it feel to be on your own?
Do you think you'll enjoy it, living alone?

Music educators conference endorses rock music
On and around the stage were musics of our concert halls and
arrayed three high school rock
groups; The Futures, Blind Wit- Are young men being funneled? WASHINGTON—(CPS) — Every
once in a while the great con-veyor
belt of life serves up a
little bleep of happiness. Such a
thing happened Halloween when
the National Education Associa-tion
(NEA) and the Music Educa-tors
National Conference (MENC)
held a joint press conference to
endorse rock music.
It didn't really matter that the
endorsement came 15 years too
late or that it was totally irrele-vant
to everything, because a good
time was had by all. The setting
was the Grand Ballroom of the
National Press Club. The flags

Each year the Bethel Bookstore,
managed by Robert Bergerud,
gives a $50 grant-in-aid to a
deserving, needy student at Beth-el.
With the purchase of a 35 cent
"Campus Pac" students receive a
collection of products worth $2
and nominate a Bethel freshman
to be the recipient of a $50 grant-in-
aid. The grant comes from the
money received, above the cost
of obtaining the "Campus Pac."
The "Campus Pac" includes
such practical items as deoderant,
soap, Excedrin, nail polish, and
a Bic pen for girls and Enden,
English Leather, soap, and tooth-paste
for boys.
The "Campus Pac" is made pos-sible
by manufacturers who want
ness, and the Illusions, roughly
categorizeable as soul, folk-rock,
and psychedelic respectively. All
three played, and the education
groups made their endorsement.
Wiley L. Housewright, national
president of NEMC and former
dean of the Florida State Univer-sity
Music School, took the podium,
expressing his interest in the cur-rent
state of rock music. "It is a
fact that youth music and paritcu-larly
rock have caused a confronta-tion
. . . between students and
teachers, between young people
and their parents, and between
youth music and the established
student grant
sumers.
The "Campus Pac" will go on
sale Monday, November 10th.
Those who purchase one will at
that time also be able to then nom-inate
a freshman student to re-ceive
the grant. The nomination
should be one who is worthy, in
need of financial assistance, and
who will not likely receive other
scholarship money.
Need, spirit, and academics
ought to be considered in that
order. The ten Freshmen who
receive the most nominations will
be submitted to the Student Per-sonnel
Committee. The final se-lection
will be made by the Com-mittee
with the consideration of
the Parents' Confidential State-ment.

Halloween night is a night of
parties and trick-or-treating. I
chose instead to see and hear the
concert version of Mozart's "The
Magic Flute" and although I may
have missed the parties and tricks,
I was certainly in on a wonderful
treat.
If a superlative is not out of
order, I'll say that the Minnesota
Orchestra under the direction of
Maestro Skrowaczewski was in one
of its finest moments. From the
very beginning of the overture,
there was no doubt the audience
would not be disappointed.
The concert version of any opera
necessarily changes the opera's
essential nature. The orchestra is
on the stage instead of in the
pit, there is no scenery, and the
singers merely sing, so the action
is limited. A narrator supplies
what action does in the true opera.
The excellent narration written
by Erich Leinsdorf, former Music
Director of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, took away from the
opera in certain instances. I wait-ed
in vain for many humorous

chantment in the high schools

Seigel, who led Berkeley stu-dents
into a confrontation with
police over the People's Park issue
last school year, said the adminis-tration's
legislation is insufficient
because it contains no provisions
for federal regulation of local
draft boards, which he said have
acted in an "arbitrary" manner,
often times denying registrants
their rights.
While many are optimistic about
the lottery's chances for approval
by the House, it is almost certain
the Senate will postpone action.
Senator Stennis holds the key. It
lines that were completely left
out. For example, when the magic
flute brings Papageno a glass of
wine, he exclaims, "That's what I
call service." (A loose translation
from the German.) But in other
places, where the plot slows down,
a short narration took the place
of long, slow moving sections. In
the long run, Leinsdorf did Mozart
a favor.
With the exception of the so-prano
lead, Benita Valente, all the
vocal talent was local and we
have something to be proud of.
Santa Roche demonstrated bril-liant
coluratura technique and a-roused
the audience to applause
after nearly every aria. James
Christiansen was an exciting Pa-pageno.
The St. Paul Cathedral
Boy's Choir provided a trio of
boy sopranos and an alto. If you
have never heard a boy soprano,
you are missing a rare treat. The
few chorus parts were performed
by the fine St. Olaf Choir.
The plot of "The Magic Flute"
can be somewhat confusing. When
Mozart and his librettist began,
they had a cute little fairy-tale
is his committee on armed services
which must decide whether to send
the bill to the Senate floor.
Stennis reportedly has taken the
position that he will bring up the
lottery proposal in committee this
year only if he has assurances
that no amendments will be of-fered
once it is on the floor. Mem-bers
of his own party have not
even agreed to withhold their
amendments. However, Senator
Kennedy, the Democratic whip,
said last week, "The deficiencies
of the present system are so glar-ing,"
that he would propose a
"comprehensive change" if the lot-tery
proposal were brought to
the floor.
in which a prince is assigned to
rescue the beautiful daughter of
the good queen. His reward is to
be the hand of the princess and
they will eventually live happily
ever after.
In the middle of the undertaking
of writing the opera, the composer
and author, for some unknown rea-son,
changed their nice bedtime
story to an allegory of freemason-ry.
The characters become symbols
of masonic ritual and life itself.
The opera is a profound monu-ment
to the Classical ideal of
universal brotherhood of all men.
But above the symbolism and mys-tery,
Mozart's musical wit remains,
as does his solemnity.
It is amazing to me that Mozart
wrote the opera in the last year
of his short lie while he was
burdened with mounting debts and
serious illness. Even more amazing
is that although he was writing
light opera for an unsophisticated
audience, the true genius of Mo-zart
came through just as strong
as in his other great works.
"The Magic Flute" is truly
delightful opera. Yes.

The house minority leader's recent allegations that the Armed Forces
have been operating under serious restrictions placed upon them by
President Richard Nixon have produced major repercussions throughout
the football world. It seems that the "no-win" philosophy which controls
our actions in the Far East has been applied to football at the nation's
three major service academies.

Where are the sceptics who earlier this football season predicted
that the Royal football team would not even finish the season? As hard
as it may be to believe the team actually seems to have gotten better
as the season has progressed; and that is saying a lot for 25 hard-working
guys. With only one game left, and that being Saturday at Hamline, the
team should be going all out. They're going to have to because Hamline
is very good.
* * *
And while we're talking about the Hamline game, I might as well
say something to the female fans. Girls, I know that you like to sit in
your dorm rooms on Saturday afternoons and dream about your Prince
Charming or eat worms because no one has asked you out for a month.
But Nik Dag will be here in a week, and the best opportunity to look
over the Bethel boys will be at the game Saturday afternoon. Quit feel-ing
sorry for yourselves and get out and mingle—how can someone ask
you out when he doesn't even know you from the wallpaper in your
room. Nik Dag is where the shoe is on the other foot, ladies, and there
won't be anyone to blame but yourself if you don't get a date. So look
over the boys at the game on Saturday, and you might even like the
game. Besides, it's our last chance to watch the football team this year.
See you at Hamline at 2:00 p.m., and don't bring your coccoons.

If you notice any bald boys walking around campus do not be

lettermen and Coach Jack Traeger got together and decided that
the team would be more united and would certainly play better if every-one
shaved their heads. Besides, Dan Larson and Angus McFeldman said
that it would be a good defensive trick since the gym lights would reflect
off the bald heads into the opponents' eyes. Coach Traeger said that wigs
would be all right for off court activities.
Field hockey team closes

Saturday, at 10:00 A.M., the Roy-als

Bethel's young soccer club ad-ded
another feather in its cap
last Saturday. The contest ended
up in a one-all tie. The competi-tion
was provided by the Interna-tional
team from the University
of Minnesota.
The foreigners were missing a
few players to a different game
and were playing their fourth
game of the week. On the other
hand, man for man, they com-pletely
outclassed the Royals. The
Bethel squad had not had a regu-lar
practice since the preceding
Monday, and was not scheduled
Led by a potent running attack
and a strong defensive charge,
Bemidji State crushed the Royal
gridders 59-13 last Saturday. The
Beavers dominated play in the
second and fourth quarters, and
handed Bethel its eighth defeat
of the season.
Bemidji broke the scoring ice
with 5:59 left in the first quarter
on a 16 yard touchdown run by
Clark Bergloff. Faking a placekick
conversion, the Beavers tried a
two point play. It failed when
quarterback Steve Collins was
tackled by several Royal defend-ers.
Bethel bounced right back how-ever,
scoring in thirteen plays
after returning the kickoff to the
35 yard line. On the first play,
Barry Anderson plowed through
the middle for 11 yards, and Pete
Roemer matched that on an end
run. Murray Sitte then hit Tom
Swanson on a rollout pass for
another first down on the Bemidji
29.
On third and 10 two plays later,
Sitte dumped a quick pass to Dan
until Friday afternoon when the
University insisted upon a match.
Bethel's only score came quickly
enough. Lee Granlund waltzed
down to the goal and scored
thirty seconds after the opening
whistle. The International's scored
later in the first half.
From a spectator's standpoint
it looked as though Bethel was
being played with. The University
team had the most superior ball
control and passing that the Beth-el
team has seen all year. They
did everything possible with a
soccer ball except put it into the
net. The fullback line of Ray
Smith, Denny Peterson, and Wen-dahl
Wahlen earned commendation
for that exception.
One of the University players,
talking to co-captain Dan Ander-son
after the game, affirmed the
fact that they were trying to win
but could not score.

first and goal on the seven. On
the next two plays the teams

one yard in the exchange.
Murray Sitte ran for three yards
and on third down, Pete Roemer
took a pitchout and raced around

line. With the ball on the Royal

faked into the line and bootlegged

Bemidji scored two more times
in that quarter for a 17-7 halftime
lead.

Think Ski Club!
Think snow! Or so the saying
goes among those of the recently
formed Bethel Ski Club; more in-formally
known as the "Bethel
Ski Bums."
The club wants to interest as
many Bethelites as possible in
skiing. To facilitate this interest,
the club is working towards re-opening
and operating the slope
at Arden Hills which was in opera-tion
the winter of '67-'68.
While the Arden Hills effort
is essentially beginner oriented,
the club has tentatively scheduled
several day-skis and several week-enders,
with the possibility of a
four day trip to Sugar Hills (near
Grand Rapids, Minn.) between In-terim
and the beginning of second
semester. Exact dates, fees and
slope will be announced.
Membership in the "Bethel Ski
Bums" is open to any and all of
the Bethel community, both col-lege
and seminary. A $5.00 mem-bership
fee is required. This fee
may be paid to the club's account
at the banking window in t h e
College Building.
Future meetings wil be posted
in the daily calendar.

the Beavers took over on the 20.
On the next play, junior half-back
Jack Hill burst up the mid-dle
for an 80 yard touchdown.
Mike Lazur then caught a pass
for two points on the conversion.
On the second play of the fourth
quarter, Tom Enger hit paydirt
for Bemidji on a three yard run.
A few minutes later John Rode-baugh
grabbed a pass for another
Beaver score.
Bethel's final tally came with
6:12 left in the game. Bob Olsen,
who had been shaken up early in
the game, snatched a pass from
Sitte for a 60 yard TD play. Olsen
was hit extremely hard just after
catching the ball, but shook off
the tackler and sprinted up the
near sideline into the end zone.
Bemidji scored again with just
seconds left in the game. Dick
Sheehan cut off a Murray Sitte
pass intended for Dave Pound,
and galloped 63 yards.
Tomorrow Bethel faces Hamline
whose season record is 5-2. The
Royals are seeking to avenge the
33-7 loss to the Pipers last season.
Bethel's field hockey team won
and the hot fudge sundaes have
been devoured! The long-sought
victory came when Bethel trounced
St. Catherine's team 3-0.
The first goal was made by
Diane Klinefelter early in the
first period. The goal seemed to
set the team on fire and the rest
of the game was all Bethel. The
defense played such a strong game
that the goalie never had to play
the ball. Sarah Reasoner made the
second goal on a pass late in the
period and Sharon Johnson scored
in the second half. Victory was
sweet!
Tuesday, Bethel played against
the University of Minnesota and
were defeated 5-1. Everything that
had gone well the day before fell
apart. The Gophers completely
controlled the game with long,
fast passes and concentrated de-fense.
Bethel had one honor, how-ever
��� the University has been
scored against only twice in their
entire season and Bethel has the
distinction of scoring one of those
goals.
Last year Bethel's field hockey
team did not taste sundaes or
victory once. As the season comes
to a close, this year's record stands
at 1 win, 2 losses, and 2 ties.
